BoomSky Closed Beta Launches Today

NGames, a leading online games publisher, is proud to
announce that closed beta testing of new strategy browser-based
MMO, BoomSky, begins today, Nov 21st at 7pm CST (GMT -6).

BoomSky is a strategy-based browser adventure featuring
colourful anime graphics, exciting backdrops and a raft of
fascinating content across multiple modes of play. BoomSky's
keyboard controlled air battles throw off the shackles of
mouse-only browser-based gaming, lending the gameplay experience an
old school flavour with a fresh graphical twist.

The closed beta test is scheduled to last 6 days, from November
21st - November 26th, with publisher NGames preparing a slew of
fun-filled events for all participating players.

BoomSky players collect, customise, and pilot a wide variety of
warplanes and deadly flying machines, each with their own
attributes and gameplay benefits. BoomSky features hundreds of
warplanes and aerial contraptions, which players can pilot by
completing strategic dog-fighting quests and missions.

As usual for NGames betas, all player data will be wiped at the
end of the CBT...all, that is, except for one crucial, potentially
game-changing player statistic, which will be remembered for the
start of the open beta phase later this month!

Pilots who prove themselves to be worthy warriors of the skies
during BoomSky's closed beta test will earn a special invite to the
exclusive Mad Ares clan for the open beta.

A long time ago, the hero Mad Ares lead his warriors to victory
against an overwhelming enemy. The Kingdom was saved and the honor
was theirs.

Joining Mad Ares and his team of warriors is is amongst the
highest honors available in BoomSky, granting players new items and
upgrades to get a head start with their adventure. To earn
acceptance, players must prove themselves worthy by finishing the
closed beta with a high attack rating.

Players can get the most out of BoomSky's gameplay by
participating in a series of events throughout the closed beta.
From free item packs bursting with valuable upgrades, to double EXP
rounds and ferocious aerial dogfight contests; players are rewarded
for testing and stretching the boundaries of everything BoomSky has
to offer.

Players can also bag themselves rewards for not only reporting
any bugs they encounter, but for putting forward new gameplay ideas
and suggestions too.
